SPOILER- I believe the skyship parts are locked in the vanity mirror. I have not played BG1 for a while, I've been busy with BG2, so I don't know if Im right or not [img]tongue.gif[/img]

P.S. for future reference you spell it "Thief" not "Thife"

Originally posted by Midget Gems: Before we leave this subject I think we should take a test, to see if those of you at the back were paying attention. Exam question set by the Adventures Guild – intermediate level. Which class of character, using which skills, can accomplish the following tasks, with 100% chance of success at the first attempt, and at the minimum possible XP level :- 1) Steal from an locked chest in an occupied room, without being seen? 2) Walk passed the guards into an unoccupied room to steal from a locked and trapped chest, without taking damage or being seen? 3) Steal from a locked and trapped chest in an occupied room without taking damage or being seen?

I'm being fair and doing this from memory, so...

The only ways I know of to steal from locked chests are the thief's Pick Lock skill and the mage's Knock spell. The only ways I know how to not be seen are by hiding in shadows (thief/ranger) or drinking an invisibility potion (anyone else).

Is there such a thing as a fighter/cleric/thief? I doubt it.

The only thing I can think of is taking an elven mage/thief who has not only good thief skills but also knows Knock. This means ~level 5 character, having to hit up High Hedge for the Knock spell and enough thief points by level 5 to hide, lockpick, and find traps. The racial bonus is gravy.

This makes #1 easy--hide in shadow, cast Knock on the chest, remove goodies.

#2 is more difficult. Steath and put trap finding on, disarm trap. Hide from guards and drink invisibility potion. Pick lock. Hide. Recloak. Get goodies and flee.

And #3 is a complete mystery. One of the times where my thief (usually neutral or evil for such a purpose) decides that paying off Helm of Garl Glittergold or Tymora will keep up the reputation appearances and proceed to drop a stealth Fireball on the place.

Pirengle, you're about to get a PM from Dundee saying that your sig image is too big. It's still damn cool, though.

The character to which Midget Gems is referring is a Gnomish (or, if this were BG2, Half-Orc) Cleric/Thief. I forget if Sanctuary is a Level 1 or Level 2 Cleric spell, but it keeps you hidden as long as you do not either a) Attack somebody, or b) Cast an offensive spell. This means that you can walk right into an occupied room, Disarm the Trap, Pick the Lock, take the goodies, and stroll right out of there, leaving a bunch of confused Guards (and perhaps a couple of confused Flaming Fist) in your wake.
